Wildlife Photographer Starts Yawning At Big Cats, Captures Their Reactions In 13 Photos

Have you ever tried yawning at someone just to see if they’d yawn back? Well, photographer Goran Anastasovski has taken this little experiment to a whole different level, and his subjects are a bit more impressive than your average friend or family member.

For years, Goran has been photographing animals at Skopje Zoo, and along the way, he discovered a rather unusual trick: if he starts yawning at the animals, some of them start yawning too! The technique seems to work particularly well with big cats, including lions, tigers, leopards, and black panthers.

The result? A collection of hilarious and expressive wildlife portraits featuring some very sleepy-looking big cats. And no, these aren't AI-generated images. They're real moments captured by Goran, who found a pretty funny way to get his subjects to open wide.

Now, without further ado, scroll down, admire these majestic yet hilarious faces, and see if you can resist yawning along with them!
